Full Cast Announced for the UK & Ireland Tour of Heathers the Musical
The full cast has officially been announced for the highly anticipated UK and Ireland tour of Heathers the Musical. Following record-breaking seasons in London, New York, and Melbourne, the smash-hit production returns to the stage this summer, kicking off with a limited 52-performance run at London's brand-new theatre, the Arts at Marble Arch, from 9 July to 22 August, before continuing its tour.
Based on the iconic 1989 cult film starring Winona Ryder and Christian Slater, Heathers first premiered in Los Angeles in 2013 to sold-out audiences before transferring to New York’s New World Stages in 2014. The show was completely reimagined for its 2018 London debut, featuring new songs and an updated script.
With three smash-hit West End runs and three record-breaking UK and Ireland tours already under its belt, Heathers has cemented its status as a definitive fan-favourite. The production won the 2019 WhatsOnStage Award for Best New Musical and was filmed live for streaming on The Roku Channel in 2022.
